Marketing.

nVidia is destroying the TPUs right now and Google is desperate to keep their perception in the public eye as the king of AI (which tbf, they probably are, compute capabilities aside)

You should try the assumption of good faith some time. It generally leads to a happier place.

In this case the data was from the time Google introduced the TPU internally, when the K80 was very much up-to-date. It also makes sense because the K80 was the only GPU offered in GCP.

This is the tpu v2, and it was most certainly not released internally when the K80 was.

You're talking about the tpu v1, not v2 or v3, so no.

Also, there's no need for assumptions when you know what's going on in the design team.
